EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph depicts the sweet orange tree, Citrus x aurantium, in full bloom, with its vibrant and fragrant flowers gracing the page. The illustration is taken from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The artwork was created by Desire Bois, a skilled botanical illustrator of the Victorian era. The sweet orange tree is shown surrounded by other delightful flowers, including the canary broom, Genista canariensis, and the yellow blossoms of the Canary Cytisus, Cytisus scoparius 'Canariensis.' The orange tree's lush foliage and abundant flowers create a striking contrast against the muted greens and browns of the background. The sweet orange tree is a popular citrus variety, prized for its juicy and sweet fruit. The tree is an evergreen, with glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom in clusters. The fruit is typically harvested when it reaches full maturity, turning a deep orange color. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the Victorian era, who meticulously captured the intricacies of nature in their work. It also serves as a reminder of the beauty and joy that can be found in a garden, with its diverse array of flowers and plants. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration for gardening and horticulture enthusiasts, this chromolithograph is a timeless treasure that continues to captivate and delight.
